			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anakin and his mother, Shmi, are slaves in the service of Watto, a junk dealer. As an engineering prodigy, Anakin can <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-613" title="AF401-01" src="http://helfyre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/AF401-01.JPG" alt="AF401-01" width="110" height="292" />build or repair nearly anything, evidenced by the creation of his own protocol droid, C-3PO, and podracer, both from salvaged parts. He is also a remarkable pilot who, according to Qui-Gon Jinn, can &#8220;see things before they happen&#8221;.</p>
<p>Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn finds Anakin on the planet Tatooine and is convinced that Skywalker is the &#8220;Chosen One&#8221;, foretold by a Jedi prophecy to bring balance to the Force. He also goes on to discover that Anakin has the highest known number of midi-chlorians, a measure of strength in the Force.</p>
<p>Step into the role of one of the most famous of all Star War characters in the <a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Anakin-Skywalker-Child-Lg-8-10-p-34291.html">Anakin Skywalker Child</a> costume. This blockbuster movie costume will take you to a Galaxy far, far away.</p>
<p>The long sleeve sandstone tan tunic has a fold over front and waist sash with printed belt. The matching pants have attached boot tops and detailing below the knees. The Star Wars costume includes a pvc mask so you will be is ready to race and win. It’s time to zoom to victory and feel the force.</p>
<p>Remember to listen to Yoda and your Jedi teachers. Even though the force is strong, you may be misled. Fly straight and fast into adventure in the Anakin Skywalker Child Costume. May the force be with you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this great idea for a Star Wars female Darth Vader costume. So funny. And it would be easy to make too. I kinda like the idea of a sexy girl Darth Vader outfit. so it&#8217;s all about latex, vinyl and light sabers. You could dress just like <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-630" title="female-darth-vader" src="http://helfyre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/female-darth-vader-300x255.jpg" alt="female-darth-vader" width="300" height="255" />your male Darth Vader counterpart and go as a couple for a cool joke. Or maybe the female Darth Vader and the emperor Palpitine, haha. so funny.  Instead of a lightsaber you could carry a whip. Wow Mistress Vader is ready to dish it out to you. You could mix it up to have more of the accessories or less, it&#8217;s all up to you.</p>
<p>Forget being Princess Leia, she bites! I always like a girl with some creativity to her party costume. It helps me buy her drinks. lol</p>
<p>I believe if Darth Vader was a female she would end up ruling the gallaxy and wouldn&#8217;t have screwed up building the Death Star.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Here is what you will need to pull the look off:</p>
<p>The helmut:<br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Darth-Vader-2-Pc-Mask-p-33721.html">Darth Vader 2 Pc Mask</a><br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Supreme-Edition-Darth-Vader-Original-Oversized-Mas-p-41104.html">Darth Vader Supreme Mask</a></p>
<p>The suit:<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Turtle-Neck-Unitard-Xl-p-54588.html"><br />
Black Unitard<br />
Black Unitard XL</a><a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Kittysuit-Leather-Like-Black-Sm-p-42449.html"><br />
Leather Like Suit Sm</a><br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Kittysuit-Leather-Like-Black-Med-p-42448.html">Leather Like Suit Md</a><br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Kittysuit-Leather-Like-Black-Lg-p-42447.html">Leather Like Suit Lg</a></p>
<p>Some Gloves and a Lightsaber<br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Darth-Vader-Gloves-Adult-p-40903.html">Darth Vader Gloves</a><br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Light-Saber-Darth-Vader-p-41179.html">Darth Vader Lightsaber</a></p>
<p>Some hot black boots:<br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Shoes--Boots-title0-p-2-c-474.html">Black Boots section</a></p>
<p>You could also grab some accessories from a child&#8217;s large costume to make it look a little more Vader like. The chest console, utility belt, a cheapy mask and cape comes with this too which you may have to alter slightly to make them work. I think the mask and the suit are the most important items in your costume so don&#8217;t chince out on those.<br />
<a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Darth-Vader-Child-Lg-p-34249.html">Child&#8217;s Lg Darth Vader Costume</a></p>
<p>Be sure to breath heavy a lot when wearing this costume and before the night is out a few choking sessions of those subordinates are definitely in order. May the force be with you &#8230;err may you use force.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a new Trek fan, or already a fan and in need of a revival, this is the guide for you! Follow the steps and fully immerse yourself in the wonderful world that is Star Trek.</p>
<ol>
<li>Watch The Original Series. These are still aired on TV on some channels, though it would be best to watch them on DVD as to see them in order. Remember, the special effects are bad because it started as a low-budget show back in late 1966. There were three seasons of TOS (The Original Series). All three seasons can be found for free at the cbs website under &#8220;classic shows&#8221;.</li>
<li>Watch <a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Klingon-Deluxe-Costume-Xl-p-82265.html">The Next Generation</a>. Once again, watching them on DVD is best, so you can see them in order. There are 178 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.</li>
<li>Watch the movies, Star Trek I-VI (1-6), <a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Star-Trek-Movie-Dlx-Red-Shirt-Lg-p-82273.html">Generations</a>, First Contact, Insurrection, Nemesis, and the newest Star Trek movie. Even if you do not agree with the new movie, it still bears the label of Star Trek, even if it is a <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-575" title="RU889061-01" src="http://helfyre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/RU889061-01.JPG" alt="RU889061-01" width="209" height="450" />non-canon story.</li>
<li>Read the books! They are still being published and there are hundreds to choose from. Maybe at first just focus on the books to accompany your favourite series. To consider yourself a true Trek fan and not a &#8216;dabbler&#8217;, you must have read some books.</li>
<li>Review your knowledge. Make sure you know the technology, as well as the ships. At least know how a warp core works.</li>
<li>Continue watching the spinoffs. Deep Space 9, <a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Next-Gen-Worf-Child-Md-p-34326.html">Voyager</a>, and Enterprise. Be sure to pay attention to technology, terms, creatures, and characters.</li>
<li>Look on eBay or similar sites for The Star Trek Encyclopedia. This contains detailed information on STV ,TOS, TNG, and DS9, as well as the movies. It is the Star Trek BIBLE. And if you&#8217;re going to be a fully fledged Trek fan you&#8217;re gonna need a reference book, for those times in the middle of the night when you absolutely NEED to go check what episode a certain ship was in, or what year Harry Kim was born.</li>
<li>Learn more about the Star Trek universe by reading Memory Alpha, a wiki dedicated to Star Trek. It has more info than the ecnyclopedia as it is constantly updated as new information is created. You&#8217;ll need it if you want your knowledge to extend further than Voyager&#8217;s fifth season.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Star-Trek-Classic-Blu-Dress-Xs-p-82260.html">GET A UNIFORM</a>. This is a must. All real fans have uniforms. They are increasingly hard to find nowadays &#8211; you&#8217;ll need to try costume sites and eBay and be prepared to pay for shipping. (Do not fret &#8211; there is a new line of costumes soon to be realeased with the new movie in 2009)</li>
<li>WATCH IT. READ IT. LOVE IT.</li>
<li>LEARN TREKNO-BABBLE! Trekno-babble is the fast &#8220;techno-babble&#8221; conversation that people on Star Trek always have that only a true trekkie could understand. You will be expected not to get lost just because they talk about all this future stuff.</li>
<li>YOU MUST LEARN TREKKIE SLANG!! Trekno-babble, series abbreviations like STV,TOS and TNG, and stuff like that are musts. It would be so un-trek like of you to say, &#8220;I got lost in all that high future stuff talk.&#8221; Instead say, &#8220;The trekno-babble threw me off.&#8221;</li>
<li>Be smart and say long run on sentences like Data. Also, learn stardates. That way, if someone asks &#8220;when is the movie opening&#8221;, you can wierd &#8216;em out by telling &#8216;em the stardate. A good place to learn about a common version of stardates is freewebs.com/savethetrekkies.</li>
<li>YOU MUST GET INTO THE HABIT OF saying universe instead of world. Like instead of saying you&#8217;re the best mom in the world say you&#8217;re the best mom in the <strong>universe</strong>!</li>
</ol>
